wooden Chanter Connector on the Bag’s neck. The suede valve end of the
Connector Tube slides into the appropriate sized brass fitting on the Bag.
Now buckle the Bellows around your waist with the longer strap and
around your right arm with the shorter strap. Place the Bag and Chanter
under your Left arm. Slide the open end of the Connector Tube into the
Brass fitting on the Bellows, located near the longer strap.

Our reeds are designed to play the First Octave well. The sound of the
Second Octave may or may not be enhanced by custom made reeds.
Minor differences in reeds can have a dramatic effect on how your pipes
sound. When you need a new reed, we suggest purchasing a few reeds at
a time and then select the one that sounds the best.
